🌟 One question we get asked is "What's on the menu?"🌟

🐟 Freshly Baked Trout - Caught from local fresh waters, this succulent trout is seasoned to perfection and baked “en papillote” to bring out all its natural flavour. Just a squeeze of fresh lemon to elevate its delicate flavour.

🥩 Juicy Sirloin Steak - Sourced from our reputable local butcher, this cut of steak is pan your preferred taste. Left to rest ensuring it is served succulent and tender.

All accompanied with
🥔 English New Potatoes - Farm fresh new potatoes are boiled to perfection, offering a delightful balance of creamy texture and earthy goodness, topped with a k**b of English butter.

🌱 Broad Beans - Straight from the fields, these broad beans are cooked to retain their vibrant colour adding a fresh nutty flavour to the plate.

🥒Roasted Courgettes - Locally grown and bursting with flavour, our roasted courgettes are drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of rock salt, making them a deliciously savoury side dish.
